Casey Batchelor’s postpartum ‘Instagram vs real life’ photo is so, so brilliant

Fair play to her.

A few months back, Casey Batchelor gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Florence.

Since then, the new mum has shared a lot of photos of her postpartum body, emphasising that not everyone “bounces back” after giving birth.

Casey has been praised by many for showing that for some people, it’s not all that easy to lose baby weight and that for others, they might not be too concerned about losing it at all.

However, some people have still taken it upon themselves to leave nasty comments beneath Casey’s photos, saying that she “still looks pregnant.”

The reality star, however, doesn’t seem to mind that much.

She doesn’t mind so much, in fact, that she’s decided to share an ‘Instagram vs real life’ postpartum photo and it’s brilliant.

The first photo shows Casey tilting her hips to the side to appear very slim, and the second depicts the mum holding her daughter and showing her stomach off to the side.

In the post’s caption, she wrote:

“Don’t always believe what you see in pictures because 9/10 that isn’t real life! !

“Yes I’m still carrying a lot of extra weight and am clearly not one of those lucky people who can snap back into shape easily!

“All I know is that most of my days consists of a messy bun, baby sick on my shoulder, dirty nappies and sterilising bottles on minimum sleep, but I wouldn’t change it for the world because that’s real life my lovelies.”

YES, girl, get it.
